I think that a support without a mana bar will need to be minimum sustain, in order to keep balanced. maybe focus on sheilding or cc...

I would also love some comments on the thing I just posted, Hakolin, in trundle's lore. I'd honestly love to see more necromancer champions =D.

The real issue is with the 'backfire effect' that seems central to your concept. This would need to be super blatantly obvious, and would probably cause far too much frustration as you're never sure when you can use your abilities. Imagine if you can't ult as Galio/etc until X uses his ultimate? It's would give you the power to force a stalemate when you wanted it, but wouldn't prevent your team from engaging when they wished to.

Support Shen doesn't use Mana.

I dunno, I just want something that doesn't just... confine to meta ideals and maybe even shifts it in ways to make it new and exciting.

she can really get crackin

What about.. a pet champion perhaps:x? http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...highlight=ding

I am trying to get an opinion of my overly flawed champion concept, but I also like to know Riot member's opinion on this type of arch typeXD. Now while we have weaker or different variations of this (Heim/Zyra/Morde/yorick/etc), I still like to know if A. Can an actual pet champion exist in Lol, and if so B. How?

I've only gotten Morello so farT_T.

Well I dont know if my comment seen or not seeing as this thread is booming. But a champion I have seen on the forums and a personal one I would like to see is an elementalist. I have a concept idea but I have seen many others. Some based on a Uydr's playing style. Do you think it would work or would having a move for each element ( or for most. My wind got thrown into the R.) So what in your honest opinion would you like to see an elementalist played??

That is true, but unfortunately there is already that circumstance in the game now. For example Katarina and Nunu. You nearly have to sit there and wait until there is a moment that a maokai knock back, or xin knock up, etc, that is no longer up before you would dare to use your ultimate.

I do understand we don't want to add even more of this, but im sure with some finagling i can get this type of ability to a working order.

I had a thought. A Mage whose nukes, while scaling on AP, do physical damage instead of magic. In this way, the mage would need Apen instead of Mpen and would have no use for Sorc shoes. This would mean an AP item with ArPen would need to be invented though they'd be using Merc Treads or Ionian Boots anyway.

Oh I love that! Maybe you hit the ability once to set the middle and then hit it again as it expands to end its expansion...? I don't know what would be easiest for the player to do quickly.

Nothing wrong with that! There just needs to be a tradeoff for what's effectively unlimited spells. You see this sort of mechanic on melee champions sometimes because the designer didn't want you worried about resource juggling when there's already other complexities and problems to overcome.

Energy is a potential other resource- you still have to make decisions because in many ways energy is a more finite resource than mana. You usually have enough to do one full combo, and if that fails you've got nothing left. A support that played off of that mechanic could be interesting.
